      An Effective Drug for Effortless Weight loss?

      November 10, 2011 /

      A weight loss pill which generates results in without any effort is a dream come true, for many.

      Although the trials have been successful in monkeys it still needs to be tested on humans.
      The researchers, headed by the husband and wife team Wadih Arap and Renata Pasqualini, have been working on the project for years. In 2004 the research team proved the drug could bring substantial weight loss in mice. Now, after the highly successful results in monkeys, they have applied for FDA approval to begin trials in people, possibly within a year.

      The “couch potato” weight loss pill could be on the way.

      A Pricey Gym Membership Isn’t the Answer to Weight Loss

      November 10, 2011 /

      You don’t need to hit the gym to lose weight.

      Making activities fun and convenient means that you are also, more likely to stick with a regime.

      Committing time, travel and money to a work out can prohibit how often you will actually exercise.

      But allocating a few minutes, consistently, to at-home exercise can yield real results.

      Don’t be blinded by the illusion that the only way you can lose weight is if you hit the gym – people are losing weight and staying in shape every day by using the tools they have at home and investing a little money (far less than they would invest in a gym membership!) to buy a few key fitness tools. Follow these tips and clean up your eating habits and you’ll be shedding the pounds in no time.

      Be Aware of Heart Attack and Stroke Symptoms

      November 10, 2011 /

      Stroke and heart attack symptoms can be similar and both conditions require immediate action.

      In a heart attack, the longer the heart stops pumping blood, the faster your internal organs begin to die. During a stroke, the longer your brain is deprived of oxygen-rich blood, the more brain cells are damaged beyond repair. The bottom line is, whether it’s a stroke or a heart attack, the longer it takes to get medical assistance, the greater the chance of permanent damage or death.

      Timing is critical for both events, and any initial symptoms need to be reported immediately!

      Unfortunately both conditions can strike without warning, meaning strokes and heart attacks happen with virtually no symptoms at all. So it’s important to learn how to recognize even the most unlikely cues.

      People Sick in The United States are Likely to Skip Care

      November 10, 2011 /

      Ill Americans are not getting the care they need.

      In a country with the most sophisticated health care system many often forgo care in lieu of taking care of other expenses.

      “Despite spending far more on health care than any other country, the United States practically stands alone when it comes to people with illness or chronic conditions having difficulty affording health care and paying medical bills,” Commonwealth Fund president Karen Davis said in a statement.

      “This is a clear indication of the urgent need for Affordable Care Act reforms geared toward improving coverage and controlling health care costs.”
